VIDEO: Ford Focus – launch gambit with Maya Karin

Here’s something for Maya Karin fans, and we’re sure there are plenty out there – it’s a video featuring her, taken during the launch of the third-generation Ford Focus two weeks back. Maya was one of two hosts (the other was Owen Yap) chosen for the launch gambit to introduce the car.

Presumably, you already know all about the car, be it the hatch or sedan, from the launch story as well as Danny’s comprehensive review, but in case you don’t, the video should take care of things.

Anthony Lim believes that nothing is better than a good smoke and a car with character, with good handling aspects being top of the prize heap. Having spent more than a decade and a half with an English tabloid daily never being able to grasp the meaning of brevity or being succinct, he wags his tail furiously at the idea of waffling - in greater detail - about cars and all their intrinsic peculiarities here.

I’d buy the ST if they let me test drive the car. Seriously. Even if maya karin comes with the purchase naked, I WOULD NOT BUY IT without a test drive! What’s wrong with SDAC? I’ve tested BMW and Merc which cost a hell lot more than the ST. Geez!

Yup, no test drive for the ST. I clearly said i wanna test drive te ST, not Maya. Unless the botak guy in SDAC PJ misheard me laa. It’s weird, Sime Auto also owns Autobavaria, no problem testing much more expensive cars over there. Maybe they wanna sabotage, obviously people will buy vw gti if no test drive is avail.

shocking since last April when I went to see the Fiesta at the same place this lady was like you want to test drive, like quite a number of times, but I declined since the price of a new Fiesta was off budget at that time.

After watching this, I feel the Ford’s presentation is a bit tacky compared to VW’s. The way the guy speaks is also kind of weird in my opinion. It’s like watching one of those shows like ‘Art Attack’ or something. Could’ve done better. Try it again with the future model ! :)

the hatch rims look like turbine fans. no one wants to bash because it’s expensive? maybe they don’t know 80’s ford also had similar designs. last time gen2 also has that kind of rim designs and been bashed. so why not proton come up again with that kind of design, GTI rims also like turbine fans what? no one wants to say it’s fugly

i couldn’t even finish the video, the presentation is soo awkward it feels like one of those from sekolah menengah, hence ruined Maya Karin Lol

anyway my wife was keen on this car having seen it in one of jinnyboy’s vid earlier, i said to her go down and practice the side parking with my hilux you will know how easy it is. it’s pure technical!
